BERLIN: Germany’s highest court will on Wednesday announce a long-awaited decision that will ultimately determine whether the country’s utilities will get back billions of Euros in taxes they paid for their use of nuclear fuel.
The decision will be released via a press release on Tuesday, June 7, at 0730 GMT (0930 CET), the German Constitutional Court said in a statement on Tuesday.
The European Court of Justice in 2015 had ruled that the German tax on the use of nuclear energy did not breach European Union laws, dealing a blow to utilities’ hopes for a multi-billion euro refund.
